So, we’ve all seen the pics from the Met Gala 2014 red hot carpet by now. We’ve examined the fashion disasters (Katie Holmes, Kate Upton, ooh Rita!), we’ve wondered over SJP’s hair (how does it work? What’s inside?) and we’ve decided Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are the most adorable couple on the planet.

But, now comes the fun bit – when the celebs start sharing their behind-the-scenes pics of the night on Instagram.

Here’s an alternative behind-the-scenes view of the evening, starring our favourite hell-raisers Cara Delevingine, Lily Allen and Rita Ora. Which basically proves celebs are just like us when it comes to a big night out.

1. Rise and shine – 11am

Cara wakes up early for the Met Ball. Well, 11am. Which is exactly when we wake up on a weekend – just in time for Saturday Morning Kitchen.

2. Let the prep commence – midday

As all girls know, getting ready to go out-out takes a significant amount of time – and, from about 5pm onwards, significant amounts of white wine.

Why get ready on your own when you can do it with your BFF? Taylor and Karlie get their lippy on.

But sometimes reinforcements are called for.

A LOT of reinforcements.

Frocks and lucky pants on – 6pm

Right, it’s time to go. Grab your mates, taxi’s here.

Just time for some last minute ‘gramming.

Having drained the last of the Woo-Woos, the Stella girls headed to their cab.

The main event – 8.30pm

Once they’d run the fashion gauntlet on the red carpet, it was time for the celebs to really let their hair down.

Or, as we (and Lily) like to call it, selfie time.

A quick shout out to Livia Firth for getting three of of our all time favourite people in one shot. Skills.

While the boys sensibly retired to the bar *swoons*.

The part where it all starts to unravel – what time is it?

When you realise you’ve spent about two thirds of the night gossiping in the loos.

When you start to wonder if you can steal/eat the decor.

When you suddenly realise that you’re really flexible.

Definitely bedtime

When your shoes are in the corner of the room and the soles of your feet have gone black.
